| Comments |
Mongolia's 1955 banknote series, of which this is part, was produced entirely by Goznak during a period when Soviet printing houses handled currency production for most of the Comecon-aligned states. The design credits — Shi-bu and D. Amgalan — indicate Mongolian artistic input into the plates, which was not always guaranteed for satellite-state issues of this period; some earlier Mongolian notes used wholly Soviet-derived designs with minimal local contribution.
The 1955 series replaced the 1941 and 1945 issues following a currency reform tied to the broader Soviet monetary reorganization of the mid-1950s. Pick 30 is among the scarcer mid-denominations of the set in circulated grades, as the 1 and 3 Tögrög notes absorbed most everyday transaction volume.
